Thai Orchid — Restaurant in Stroudsburg

I’ve been coming to Thai Orchid for years, but this last visit today was absolutely disgusting and disappointing. I ordered curry with rice, sticky rice with coconut sauce, and Pad Thai — but instead, they gave me the wrong noodles, and everything had an extreme odor, like something rotten. The food smelled so bad it made me feel sick.

When I tried to taste it, it was honestly one of the worst things I’ve ever put in my mouth — it literally tasted like something spoiled beyond belief. I’ve eaten Thai food many times before and especially at this place plenty of times before, and this was nothing like it. It was nasty and inedible.

When I went to tell the young lady (the daughter) at the front, she immediately started yelling at me and accusing me of saying their food wasn’t fresh, when I was simply asking for a refund because the food made me want to throw up because of how spoiled it was. Then the owner (the mother) came out and started almost cursing at me, being completely disrespectful instead of listening to what I was trying to explain.

This used to be one of the first Thai places in the area, but the quality has gone downhill so badly that it’s embarrassing. The food smelled rotten, tasted horrible, and the staff treated me terribly when I tried to give feedback.

This place has become disgusting and unprofessional — I’ll never return, and I hope others don’t waste their time or money here. If you want to save a trip to the hospital,...

I like thai orchid, a lot. I like thai food, a lot. I order Pad Thai a lot and this place has a very good pad thai. They give you little rice chips with sweet sauce when you dine in and for lunch they have a special where you get a choice of an appetizer and a lunch portion selection for around 9- 10 bucks, great deal. The owner is extremely kind and such a nice guy. Service is usually great and prompt as they only have about 8 tables inside, so if you have a large party, this place is too small. So why the average review? I've been here about mmmmmm 7 times...everytime I'm with my wife and I'd say 70% of those times it wasnt busy and 70% of those times I ordered Pad Thai and she ordered like shrimp fried rice or pineapple fried rice or some type of fried rice. Her fried rice hits the table in about 5 minutes, or less, no pad thai. 3 minutes. No Pad thai. 5 minutes. No Pad Thai. 7 minutes...maybe pad thai, maybe not. 10 minutes...probably pad thai by now, but you catch my drift? Everytime, no exaggeration. You NEVER drop entrees at different times...Ever. if it's a party of 12 you bring 2 trays with all 12 entrees on the trays at the same time, or have someone follow you...no matter what. If it's a 2 top for lunch and they're 2 of 8 people in the restaurant...no excuse. Drop entrees at the same...

While having my car worked on locally I was hungry and decided to finally try Thai Orchid. I have shopped at the Asian Market they own quite a few times and for whatever reason, hadn't been in here yet. Wasn't sure when my car would be ready so I took the food to go. Got a Thai Iced Tea, Thai Hot Wings, and "The Drunken Man" which I simply took as a play on Drunken Noodles.

The Thai Iced Tea tasted like any other I've ever had. Extremely sweet but delicious.

The Wings were a no go for me. I wouldn't order these again. They basically seemed to be wings tossed in Thai Chili sauce and cayenne hot sauce with added crushed pepper and chili's overtop. They weren't bad, but I can imagine not very authentic, and honestly not very creative either.

The Drunken Man was good. The noodles were a bit different than i'm used to seeing in Thai dishes, but the flavor was excellent. More of the crushed Chili and flakes from the wings added some heat to these, but I think I would have liked them hotter. I got chicken and the meat was good, and the vegetables were all fresh and delicious.

I'll eventually go back and try some other dishes but I'd order that Drunken Man again and just ask...
